I'll google a bit more. If you think of anything else, let me know :)


Try doing:

xhost + local:
or
xhost +

but I doubt that will solve the problem. The only thing that usually is
needed is for the remote machine to have a ~/.Xauthority file, which is
created when you run X or use ssh -X. No other ideas here.

Well, ssh creates the ~/.Xauthority file, you could try setting the XAUTHORITY variable after su-ing to root.
So:
XAUTHORITY=~USER/.Xauthority
export XAUTHORITY

and then start your X apps.
